Chapter I:
He came back to the only place he's ever called home. He's lived there for 23 of the 25 years he's known life. The Jedi temple gave him a piece of mind that nowhere else did. He was only to be there for one or two days, his master and he were to report to another mission to some planet called Naboo. Their last mission kept them away from the temple for three months, and Obi Wan Kenobi was anxious to be home.
Stepping off their transport, Obi Wan turned to his master, giving him a begging stare to be released for some free time.
"You may go padawan." Master Qui Gon Jinn stated, smiling at his young prot‚g‚.
"Thank you master." Obi Wan said with a bow, and then he took off in almost a run.
Qui Gon shook his head and laughed to himself. He knew whom his padawan was running to see.
**
Obi Wan found himself in the temple gardens. He saw a beautiful female Jedi meditating at the water's edge. Her dark purple hair ran to her shoulders, but a thin braid by her right ear went to the small of her back. She wore her Jedi tunic, but had removed her belt and boots. 'She hates shoes' Obi Wan laughed to himself. Using his Jedi training, Obi Wan snuck up behind the woman with out being detected, he knelt at her side, and gently blew air into her ear. She came out of her trance. When she saw the young Jedi, she smiled.
"When did you get back?" She asked, putting her hair behind her ears.
"Just now." He answered, sitting down in the grass.
"I'm impressed, you came and found me before you went to the kitchen." She joked with him, and poked his stomach.
Obi Wan laughed. "Well you know the kitchen isn't open during this time." She gave him a smirk. "Besides, it wouldn't be home if you weren't around." He flashed her one of his infectious smiles.
She eyed the Jedi, she couldn't believe it, but he seemed to grow even more handsome in just three months. She touched his cheek. "That beard of yours is coming in again."
"I know, it grows so fast." He paused. "But, I can't have it till I'm made a knight." His mood became solemn.
"Soon, I'm sure you'll take the trials soon." She said with a reassuring smile.
He looked at her with compassion in his deep, blue eyes. "I've missed you She-ar-ah." He said, taking her hand.
She smiled smugly at him; she loved to flirt with Obi Wan. She rose to her feet and removed her tunic, revealing a crŠme colored tank top underneath.
"What are you doing?" Obi Wan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Going for a swim. Wanna join me?" She asked in a playful tone.
Obi Wan leaned back on his elbows. "No, I think I'll enjoy the view."
She smiled playfully at him, and waded out into the middle of the lake. Obi Wan watched, he felt his body burn with desire for the woman. He had known her for a long time, at one point she was like his little sister, but then one day she grew up, and he found himself very attracted to her. He remembered nine years ago when she helped save his life, how she was there to hold his hand as he recovered from his injuries. How even though she was only 11, she let him cry on her shoulder when he was too embarrassed to go to Qui Gon. He loved her more than any other person in the temple. He was overprotective of her as well. Suddenly he watched her go underwater, and come back up, dripping wet, with her clothes clinging to her body. 'Oh to be those clothes' he thought to himself.
She turned to him, and splashed him. She giggled as he screamed at the cold temperature of the water. He looked at her with an "I'm going to get you look", and then he removed his tunic and boots.
"Woo Woo!" She-ar-ah made a cat call to him, but deep down she grew very excited at the sight of his form.
Obi Wan dove into the water, he swam under She-ar-ah and grabbed her legs, almost forcing her under. He surfaced and she splashed him. He tried to dunk her, and they wrestled with each other. A moment later, they were gazing in each other's eyes. They had denied each other before, because falling in love was a dangerous thing. It was forbidden by the Jedi code. But staring into each other's eyes they couldn't deny each other any longer. Obi Wan drew her in close to him; he could feel his heart racing. Suddenly with one swift movement She-ar-ah wrapped her legs around him, and they shared a deep, passionate kiss. Their tongues intertwined, digging deeper into each other's mouths. Obi Wan reached his hand up her shirt. Suddenly he realized they weren't alone. He stopped kissing She-ar-ah, and turned to find Qui Gon watching them with his arms folded, giving an "if looks could kill" look to his half naked padawan. Quickly, the two let go of each other, and looked at Qui Gon, embarrassed. There was a long pause between the three of them.
"We uh...were just really happy to see each other." Obi Wan said lamely, trying to find something to say.
"Yes, I can see that." Qui Gon answered, sitting in the grass.
She-ar-ah looked between master and apprentice, she did not want to be there anymore.
"She-ar-ah." Qui Gon said, she jumped at the sound of her name. "Would you excuse us please?"
"Yes, of course." She said, gathering up her tunic, and rushing out the door.
Obi Wan watched her go, as she made it to the door, she turned and smiled at Obi Wan /good luck/ she sent through their bond.
/yeah thanks/. He answered back. He looked at Qui Gon, and bowed his head in humility. "Master I..."
"Obi Wan, you know better." Qui Gon reprimanded him, cutting him off.
"Yes master, I'm sorry. It's just..."
"It's just what?"
"Why is it wrong to fall in love? It feels so natural." Obi Wan was trying to stay out of trouble.
"Love is a powerful emotion, it can lead to anger, hate, and those lead to the dark side."
"Dark side." Obi Wan finished with his master. "It's just, I have such strong feelings for her master. I wish that I didn't, but I do."
"I know padawan, and being human, it is natural to have those feelings, however we as Jedi need to exercise some discipline."
"Yes master."
Qui Gon smiled at Obi Wan. "I think the council will be displeased."
"Master? You're going to the council about this?" Obi Wan grew afraid.
"Not unless I have to padawan, but I think they'll be displeased that there is a rebel in you after all."
Obi Wan rolled his eyes. And looked at Qui Gon. "Master, you know I wouldn't do anything to compromise my training."
Qui Gon let out a sigh. "Yes Obi Wan I do realize that. I know how much being a Jedi means to you." Qui Gon decided he should change the subject. "You better get some rest, we leave in the morning."
"Yes master." With that, the dripping wet Jedi apprentice picked up his tunic and walked past his master, who was trying not to laugh. "Goodnight master."
"Goodnight padawan."
As the soggy apprentice made his way out the door, Qui Gon watched him leave. 'Gods, what do I have on my hands now?' He knew Obi Wan and She-ar-ah shared a bond, but he couldn't let Obi Wan do anything to hurt his chances to be a Jedi. 'He's come too far, suffered too much to let it go now'. Qui Gon decided he would have a talk with his apprentice on this next mission.
